This chimp’s reaction being reunited with his human foster parents is pure joy

If your soul has blackened and withered up like an old bit of banana skin at the thought of being at work on Monday, we have something that might help.

It’s not a monthly stipend that will allow you to retire early, but it’s the best we can do.

It’s video of a young chimp being reunited with his foster parents, who helped care for him after his mother rejected him.

This is little Limbani, who is cared for by the Zoological Wildlife Foundation in Miami, US.

He was born with pneumonia and needed round-the-clock care to survive.

His human foster parents are Tania and Jorge Sanchez.

“Without human intervention and modern medicine he wouldn’t be here today,” a foundation spokesperson said on Facebook.

“Tania and Jorge can go without seeing him for a couple months and his reaction is always the same.”

His reaction, which will put a big, goofy grin on even the grumpiest of grumblebum’s faces, was posted on Instagram last month.

It has since been viewed more than 160,000 times and melted a heckload of hearts.

“Aaannnnnnddddd the tears start to flow. This was beyond sweet,” Instagrammer indian_princess1 said.

“I've watched this about fifteen times. I love it,” staceyfraker said.

“It’s the most beautiful post which I have come across,” trushu_patel_16 said.

Have a nice day, everyone.
